WHAT’S PROPOSED Official Community Plan Bylaw and Zoning Bylaw amendments to secure the existing number of residential rental units in perpetuity. This amendment would protect the existing number of rental units identified on the properties below, to ensure that if redevelopment occurred on the parcel, the same number of rental units would need to be provided.

PROPOSED ZONING AMENDMENTThis is a District led initiative to rezone the affected lands, to limit their form of tenure to residential rental.
